Take the object of this test, the new-for ATS coupe. Delightful to drive, well appointed, and properly built, it joins the CTS sedan one of our 10Best Cars winners as a world-class contender. On the evidence of the ATS, Cadillac is making really good cars. Some great ones, even. Good numbers. It surrenders a half-second to 60 mph but finishes the quarter-mile in a dead heat with the BMW i that is the most direct competitor.
When we pitted the 2. This coupe was but 2 pounds heavier than the sedan with the same drivetrain in that comparo and 86 pounds lighter than the V-6 ATS coupe. It all seems to have come off the front axle, as the balance shifts rearward from No car is perfect, of course, and this one might have drawn more attention if the two-door looked a little less like the sedan, bolder and more daring.
It might look better without a B-pillar, but so might the 4-series and the Lexus RC , and those, too, had to yield to the need for structural rigidity and side-impact safety. We liked it, but the standard cabin trimmings already meet high standards for materials and fit.
Some of us have opined that this strategy is a tad ambitious—or just plain too much. No further comment. Cadillac already builds cars as good as or better than those from German and Japanese luxury marques. We look forward to finding out for ourselves and hope to drive the new Blackwing sedan by the end of the year. New Cars. Buyer's Guide.
